Death certificates typically include an official finding of “cause of death,” which is a determination of the circumstances surrounding a person’s passing that is used in legal contexts, medical contexts, and statistical contexts.
Rare circumstances may necessitate a pathologist-performed autopsy. The method of death, on the other hand, can be classified into a few categories like “accie,” “accident,” “suicide,” & “homicide,” each of which has distinct legal ramifications than the cause of death, which is a specific sickness or injury.
When there is doubt or ambiguity about a cause of death, family members or people in general may disagree on what actually caused the death. Conspiracy theories can be at the root of these disagreements, or perhaps spark them.
The public has a skewed understanding of the relative risks of death due to different causes, according to both individual experience and media coverage. It is frequently said that there is a “hierarchy of death” that explains why certain deaths receive more coverage than others.
Abortions are not counted as fatalities in these statistics, because mainstream medical authority does not grant personhood to fetuses that are not surviving outside the womb.
